OSX is a little schizophrenic w.r.t. line endings these days. 
Applications at the Cocoa/Aqua level tend to use 0x0d for line endings, 
while everything at the command-line level (groff) and X11 apps use 
0x0a.

Vim can handle most of the back&forth issues, and piping through "tr" 
takes care of the rest.
